I have an interview for the post shortly for an inplay trader, but not sure what to expect. Any tips or info would be appreciated! CheersI wouldn't worry. Next to nobody employed as a sports trader does anything like this. Performing poorly may be an advantage over others who are clued up.https://community.betfair.com/general_betting/go/thread/view/94082/30375255/has-anyone-worked-as-a-sports-trader-for-the-bookies?post_id=542162169#542162169I wouldn't worry.
